Better yet, what about imitation imitation Ray Bans from Walgreens that cost $10 because you're too cheap to buy imitation Ray Bans? But to be fair I've had them like 3 years.

Since May (when I realized I am so bad with sunglasses I should track just how bad I am with them) I have purchased 8 pairs of sunglasses (those same fake raybans) at $16 each.

Some of the ways my glasses were lost/broken:

- Woke up on my cousin's neighbor's porch and stepped on the sunglasses running away from the residents.

- During my trip to Provincetown recently, my uncle's gargantuan beer belly crushed them when I was blocking him from devouring some guy who had pushed my aunt (his sister).

- Laughing/crying/man-hugging after Johan Santana tossed a no hitter. Wore my glasses with no lenses out of the stadium before realizing they had no lenses. They are currently in a ziplock bag with my Johan jersey (first and only time ever worn) and my ticket from that game, which will all be framed and given to my brother since he didn't go to the game and was nearly suicidal about it.

- My dog ate them (literally)

- Holding my baby cousin (she's 2 1/2 but is a little peanut so she looks like she's 1) on a whale watching boat and she grabbed my glasses said something in little-kid-gibberish and launched them into the ocean, laughing for a solid 5 minutes. Being an *sshole runs in the family, I guess.

i dunno. maybe it is just me, but i don't really see why raybans make you a hipster. here's a picture of my 52 year old uncle and my cousin (who also has raybans) golfing in pebble beach. he's pretty much as conservative as you can get (polos and kahki everyday) but he's had raybans for forever.

Hipsters take what was once unfashionable and wear it ironically thereby making it cool through their voodoo. Therefore, your uncle wearing Ray-bans is fine much like it's fine that my granddad drank PBR every day of my life until he passed away.

I saw Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale tour and...I liked it.

Got the tickets through a Groupon deal for 20 bucks (I read somewhere that Britney thought the tour was selling good on its own when in reality it was only selling ok once they started the Groupon deals behind her back) and we also went hoping that maybe she'd be drunk enough to face-plant into the stage. That didn't happen.

Yeah I def understand that sentiment. I guess maybe it is just Texas but the raybans are more of a frat daddy thing here, not hipster.

I get my fake ray bans at Target. I have also been through about 8 or so pairs. I am horrible with sunglasses, and I guarantee that if I spent more than $20 on a pair of sunglasses, they'd be killed by some unfortunate happenstance within one week. My luck with sunglasses is directly proportional to the amount of money spent on them. i.e. the free fake raybans I got at Voodoo '11 in the Toyota promo tent are in mint condition and I wear them all the time. The $20 pair of glasses I bought in Nov '10 lasted about 2 months before they were lost. I can only imagine what would happen if I bought glasses that are normally $150. They'd probably leap off my face as I exited the store... then spontaneously combust on the sidewalk.

I'm a little gun-shy about getting hooked on a show that's already over.

Personally, I think that's the best time. You can watch at your own pace, and if you get hooked you can bang out all the episodes and not have to worry about waiting for the next season to come on the air. I started watching Breaking Bad when season 3 was still airing, so the 1 year+ long wait until Season 4 was torture. I'm sure it will pale in comparison to the break during Season 5, though.

I made the worst impression possible on tacobandit when I went to a Galactic/Moontaxishow a few months back

Details please ;D

ok so I thought my brother was coming to this show with me but he backed out last minute and my girlfriend came.............well she was like 5 months pregnant and had to be at work the next day at 8am so she complained the whole time which turned us on each other and we argued and it spilled over a little...............

I think one of the first things I said to tacobandit was something like "my girlfriend thinks everyone on inforoo stuckup music snobs"

Can i watch this on Netflix? If I have to pay money, I may change my mind.

IMO you SHOULD buy it. Because then you'll watch it again and again over the years and also you can then lend it to others and spread the good word. We're trying to convert as many people to the church of The Wire so having physical copies helps.

lol

You may be able to find streaming links at movie2k.to....not sure. I'd suggest torrents to be easiest. I was going to like to sidereel.com but some of the HBO shows on there don't have many links. It's not on Netflix so these are your options. Or borrow seasons from a friend.
